I forgot how many wrestlers wore pink. Huh...alright. I don't really like it, but I guess it's all about what you do in the ring. If he keeps winning it'll be an after thought. When people think of Bret Hart they don't think of what color his outfit was, they think of the Best there is, The Best there was and The Best there ever will be.

He's got the great looking blue and white robes. He's got the distinguished walk. He's got that amazing air of arrogance, but he pulls the gown off and he looks like he's walked into the wrong meeting

Its done in sarcasm and humour.
Here you have this distinguished well spoken man with a sophisticated manner who then whip of his elegant blue robe to reveal florescent neon pink trunks and purple knee pads.
Its meant to be a total clash, like a split personality where when he wears the robe he is one person but when provoked and antagonized he loses his cool and goes crazy and he needs two clashing polar opposite gear to get that point across without actually having to say anything.

I don't know, but I don't like it. The he ''stands out'' wearing pink trunks argument - is irrelevant when his gimmick and look already helps him stand out from the bland roster. Having dark blue trunks that would match his robe for example, would be a perfect look for him, while still being something different from the generic black trunks. Having bright, plain pink trunks immediately takes away from the serious aspect from his character in my opinion. I have a hard time take him seriously looking like that. This combined with his current theme song, are literally the only criticisms I have about him, but apart from that, I'm loving Sandow right now.
